Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

“What’s going on?”

“What exactly happened?”

“That guy…why did his eyes become the same as Orochimaru-sama?”

Not far from the strange rock pile, Shin lay on a massive boulder, stretching his neck with an incredulous look as he observed ‘Hiruko’!

At this time, ‘Hiruko’ still stood motionless on the spot, his golden vertical pupils slightly narrowed, seemingly reminiscing about something.

After a while, a satisfied smile appeared on his lips: “Chimera Technique, hehehe… Hiruko, I'll gladly accept this Forbidden Technique!”

‘Hiruko’, no… Orochimaru, after taking Hiruko’s body, took a gentle step forward, his steps… mysterious.

‘Sure enough.’

‘Although I successfully transferred into Hiruko’s body, the harmony between this body and my own soul was lacking, so there was a significant rejection.’

However, Orochimaru is not concerned by this. Through years of organ transplant research, he has already developed drugs that can temporarily suppress the rejection reactions. With some patching up, he should be able to endure for three years.

The only thing that worries Orochimaru is that, the rejection between the soul and the body would keep this body in a weakened state. Just like a piece of exquisite porcelain, once he fights fiercely with other people… he might crack immediately.

Of course, gentle and light attacks were still acceptable.

Orochimaru walked up to his ‘original body’, bent over and peeled off his face, then gently placed it on his own face. Next, he transferred everything from his original body to himself, taking the opportunity to inject a syringe into himself to suppress the rejection between his soul and the body.

Orochimaru did all this openly, without avoiding Shin’s gaze. It’s because he knows Shin’s personality- greedy, fearful of death, cunning, suspicious, and ambitious, just like a thankless wretch.

If Orochimaru was hiding things, it would show his timidity, and it was easy for it to be seen by Shin as his weakness and he might bite him back.

At this moment, Orochimaru is doing all this generously, but in Shin’s eyes, he has become more mysterious and terrifying!

After completing the transfer of ‘identity’ and ‘property’, Orochimaru turned around emotionlessly, and his golden vertical pupils looked playfully at the place where Shin was hiding: “Come out, Shin. “

‘His voice is hoarse and gloomy, it’s Orochimaru-sama’s voice…’ Shin timidly walked out of the strange rock pile, and slowly approached Orochimaru. His eyes filled with a hint of fear: “Orochimaru-sama, are you… are you okay?”

“What do you think?” Orochimaru asked gloomily.

“Orochimaru-sama…” Shin trembled and quickly lowered his head. However, he inadvertently stepped on the ‘original body' at his feet, revealing that the face of the ‘original body' was that of a woman!

Shin's heart shook at this.

‘What’s going on?! What’s going on?!’

‘How could Orochimaru-sama be a woman?’

‘Could it be…’ Shin suddenly had a terrifying idea in his mind: ‘Orochimaru is no longer a normal human, he is… a parasitic entity?’

‘No, this should be soul reincarnation!’

Cold sweat appeared on Shin’s forehead, and he kept swallowing his saliva.

“Take him with us. Let's go.” Orochimaru turned and walked towards the distance.

Shin looked at the ‘original body' at his feet and the unconscious Iwagakure’s Shinobi. He swallowed his saliva again: ‘Orochimaru-sama just said ‘him’.’

‘Take this Iwagakure’s Shinobi?’

‘Is this Iwagakure’s Shinobi the next target for Orochimaru-sama’s resurrection?’

‘That’s right, this Iwagakure’s Shinobi owns Kekkei Genkai, Orochimaru-sama must have taken a fancy to his body!’

Feeling safe, Shin released a sigh of relief, then carefully lifted the Iwagakure’s Shinobi and quickly caught up with Orochimaru.

“Orochimaru-sama, are we going back to the village now?” Shin asked nervously.

Compared to terrifying Orochimaru, which can perform soul resurrection on other people, Shin would rather stay in Otogakure, even if he is provoked by the others every day.

‘We can’t go back to Otogakure now… Damned Gekkou Kanpū!’

Orochimaru raised his eyelids slightly, and his golden vertical pupil carried a hint of killing intent.

This hint of killing intent, almost intangible, enveloped Shin, making him feel like he was in an ice cave!

“Orochimaru-sama, I was too talkative just now. I’m extremely sorry!” Shin quickly showed an expression of humility, pleading for forgiveness.

Orochimaru retracted the killing intent and said: “For the next three years, I will take you to experience the Shinobi World. Don't disappoint me.”

“I… I understand.”

A look of confusion flashed in Shin's eyes.

‘Experience the Shinobi World?’

‘Why would Orochimaru-sama, who tore off my left arm just six months ago, suddenly treat me so well now?’

Shin used to be an orphan, enduring the sneers and mockery of others, so he’s well aware that there was no such thing as a free lunch, and certainly no love without reason.

He glanced at the Iwagakure’s Shinobi on his shoulder, and suddenly, a terrifying thought surged in his mind: ‘This Iwagakure’s Shinobi is Orochimaru’s next target, then I… am his next target?’

‘Impossible, I’m just an ordinary orphaned Shinobi. Even if I have outstanding talent, how could Orochimaru be interested in me?’

‘Wait, could it be because of… Sharingan?!’

Shin started letting his imagination run wild, but the fear in his heart surged through him like wildfire, quickly filling his chest. He only feels that each step he walks out is on the edge between life and death!

‘No, I have to escape. I must get away from this perverted Orochimaru!’

‘At any rate, I've already obtained the cell cloning technology!’

Shin's eyes flickered: ‘Calm down! I can’t be reckless. With this Iwagakure’s Shinobi here, I’m still safe for now… I can’t let Orochimaru see through my intentions… I need to quickly enhance my strength, otherwise, I won't be able to escape from Orochimaru’s hands…’

“What are you thinking?” Orochimaru asked without looking back.

“I… I'm thinking about how to… nothing, I…” Shin almost blurted out his thoughts subconsciously, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He took a deep breath, and quickly expressed his loyalty, “I will definitely train well and not disappoint Orochimaru-sama!”

“I hope so.” Orochimaru grinned, then stretched out his long tongue to lick his face.

Throughout the journey, Orochimaru has not been idle. He had been modifying this body from the start. The first step was the soft tissue modification!

Half a day later, the Iwagakure’s Shinobi on Shin’s shoulder woke up.

“Who are you? Where’s that strange Shinobi just now?” The Iwagakure’s Shinobi began to struggle desperately, “Let me go! I am the elite Shinobi of Iwagakure!”

Orochimaru’s steps paused slightly, and he said: “Don’t let him die.”

“Yes.” Shin understood what he meant, then he immediately threw the Iwagakure’s Shinobi down and pouring all his fear onto him!

After a violent beating, the Iwagakure’s Shinobi understood his current situation, and the world fell silent.

Three days later, Orochimaru took Shin and the Iwagakure’s Shinobi to a small country adjacent to the Land of Earth. He then went to the black market to issue an assassination mission.

The assassination target was surprisingly the Iwagakure’s Shinobi he brought!

Of course, Orochimaru only provided a meager commission, and at most, it is only enough to attract ordinary rogue Shinobi and Genin from the Great Shinobi Villages.

Shin, who witnessed this scene, was full of confusion, ‘Isn’t this Iwagakure’s Shinobi his next reincarnation body?’

‘Why would he send someone to assassinate him?’

‘If he dies, wouldn’t I become his first target for resurrection?’

A great terror loomed between life and death!

Shin, in agony, was torn between staying and running away.

Orochimaru seemed to see through his thoughts, chuckled lightly, and said: “Shin, your mission is to protect him.”

“Protect him?”

Shin's heart trembled, “Orochimaru-sama, is this my… training?”

Orochimaru nodded: “The commission for the assassinations will continue to rise in the next three years. The enemies you face will also become stronger. Shin, you understand what I'm saying, right?”

“I… I understand, I will definitely not disappoint Orochimaru-sama!”

‘For my own life, I will never let anyone harm this Iwagakure’s Shinobi!’

‘Three years… I must escape from Orochimaru within three years!’

Shin secretly swore!
